SALEM, N.H., Sept. 15, 2009 - MacSpeech, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 International, the exciting multi-language edition of the premier speech recognition solution for the Macintosh.

Now for the first time, MacSpeech Dictate International users can dictate directly into Mac applications using a choice of English, German, French and Italian. MacSpeech Dictate International customers simply create a voice profile in the language they choose, and open that profile when they want MacSpeech Dictate International to convert speech in that language to text or to recognize commands. MacSpeech Dictate International requires an Intel-based Mac, and Mac OS X 10.5.6 Leopard through Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. MacSpeech Dictate International is available today for US$249 as a new purchase in North America only, directly from MacSpeech at <http://www.macspeech.com/>.

"Since its introduction, MacSpeech Dictate provided Mac users with unprecedented speech recognition accuracy, in little training time, for Mac applications they already have," explained Andrew Taylor, founder and CEO of MacSpeech, Inc. "Now, MacSpeech Dictate International introduces all of these capabilities to German-, French- and Italian-speaking Macintosh users. In fact, using MacSpeech Dictate International, you can open voice profiles in the various different languages, including English, and it will recognize speech when you switch between languages even in the same document. While most International customers will likely stick to one language at a time, you have to admit, that's pretty incredible."

"Before you even ask," added Taylor, "we did not forget those who speak Spanish; when there is applicable news, rest assured we will announce it."
